Corsair GS800, compatible with my new build?

[shkrelidonald]

Dear all,

I was planning to build a new gaming rig and as money is tight I needed your help whether my GS 800 (http://www.pc-specs.com/psu/Corsair/Corsair_GS800_800W/50) is still compatible/good for it? The more I read the more confused i get. The rig;

- I5-8600K (not OCed but maybe in the future).
- GTX 1060 6GB.
- Motherboard MSI Z370 A-PRO.
- 2x8 GB DDR4 maybe 3000MHz.
- 1 SSD, 1HDD etc.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Stop reading about it after reading this - - that PSU will be fine on your new build.

Thank you Phillip. I thought so, but people were getting into voltage/amperage, pins connectors etc. discussions.Thank you for your help and Vic 40 also. So I am considering this as "solved". And please if you have any inputs on the build and RAM in particular, more then welcome.

P.S. It seems that i posted this on the wrong part of the forum and dont know how to delete the post. Sorry.

I think that the GS 800 will work, but I'm pretty sure that it's a lot more than you really need. Long story short: it will get the job done.

Thank you shark. I know that 800W is an overkill, but it is still kicking and has served me flawlessly so far. Any thoughts on the build, especially I am undecided on the RAM.
Thank you again.

Looking at that other thread,the ram seems fine to me. Just look for good ram in between 2666mhz and 3200mhz. Look at latencies too,but since ram is expensive if 2400mhz with good latencies (is lower) is much cheaper just go for that.If working at 1.2V at that speed could you even look at really overclocking it,but that's another story.
